The QR code-enabled sign boards will display vital project information, including the National Highway number, chainage, project length, and construction or maintenance timelines. Commuters will also access contact details for Highway Patrol, Toll Managers, Project Managers, Resident Engineers, and the emergency helpline 1033.
Nearby Facilities and Safety Features
In addition to project details, the sign boards will highlight nearby facilities such as hospitals, petrol pumps, restrooms, police stations, restaurants, toll plazas, truck lay-bys, puncture repair shops, vehicle service stations, and e-charging stations. This ensures travelers can quickly locate essential amenities, improving overall road safety and convenience.
Strategic Placement for Maximum Accessibility
The vertical QR code boards will be installed at high-visibility locations including wayside amenities, rest areas, toll plazas, truck lay-bys, and highway start or end points. By positioning the boards at key touchpoints, NHAI ensures easy access for all highway users.
Enhancing Transparency and Commuter Experience
This initiative goes beyond providing basic project information. By facilitating real-time access to emergency and local services, the QR code sign boards enhance road safety and commuter awareness. Travelers can now plan stops efficiently, access assistance promptly, and gain a clearer understanding of highway projects under development.
Looking Ahead
As India continues to expand its national highway network, the integration of QR code sign boards reflects NHAI’s commitment to adopting technology for citizen-centric services. The move aligns with broader government efforts to improve highway safety, transparency, and accessibility for millions of daily commuters.
